TOPIC

Assessment for Neurodivergent Adults

PRESENTER

Amy Blackmon, Ph.D.

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Many adults with Autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent features have never been identified. This can affect performance at school and work, and quality of life. Assessment can differentiate neurological and psychiatric concerns, and offer recommendations for therapy, interpersonal relations, school, and the work place. This presentation will explain how assessment works, and who and why it helps.

KEY LEARNING POINTS

How does neuropsychological assessment work?
What causes a person to be neurodivergent?
What can be recommended for neurodivergent people to improve their lives?
